Social Mobile Application Development

We are seeking an app developer to write the front end for our social mobile application for Android and Ios. Currently we are in the process of writing the REST API and need to hire an app developer to work on the actual front end(mobile application). Individual should have experience in mobile applications with social interaction. Developer needs to be able to communicate well with us, since this is a social application and most information will be retrieved from our server. All Code must be native (We are not looking any HTML5 or javascript based solutions. This includes Phonegap, Rhodes, and using script languages like LUA or Python to utilize the NDK.)

Developer needs to be able to communicate with us on a daily basis and communicate with via skype and [login to view URL] you are a company who has multiple developers. This is a startup project and while we are paying for a Freelancer, we are essentially looking for someone who would be willing to join our team based off success. Below we have listed project requirements.

-We will be developing for Android 2.3 minimum with our focus being Android 4.1

-For iOS , development will be for iOS6.

-Understanding of Native User Interfaces for both Android/iOS

-Creativity is a PLUS! If you got a good idea that you think would help the application, we have no problem paying extra for the implementation.

-Developer must be easy to get along with. I do not want to have to communicate with a project manager who will communicate with a programmer. As a programmer I expect to be able to communicate with you directly.

- Client/Server Application security with our REST API(Token Based). If I can EASILY reverse engineer your Android APK and forge the requests to spam the network, you probably do not qualify for this project.

- Minor details we can discuss over Skype or E-mail, but these are the essential requirements we ask of a developer.

This project does not include User Interface Design. We are currently seeking a user interface designer as well.

(as the programmer developing the REST API , I know programmers tend to have a lack of talent when it comes to art)

We are looking for an individual who would be interested in working with us in the future as part of our team in the future. Currently we have a very solid group(3 of us ) , who specialize in Internet Marketing, Backend Development, Webscraping/Automation, and Business Development. Funding is not a problem in most cases as we have a solid budget for both Application development and Marketing.
